Combines Embarassing Moment on the Farm

[muzza]

We are custom cutters down here too a couple of years ago we were in a feild of barley. We left the combines there for the night, early the next morning while fueling up i got in behind the combine next to mine and switched the pipes to the steering ram on the back of his combine. i quick smart moved my combine out of the line and around to fuel up. Well he was going to start world war 3 if he could get his hands on me. every one eles say the funny side of it muzza

Dad tells the story of a family just getting into the custom harvesting business with two new Minneapolis-Moline combines. They start their first field opening it up with each going a different direction around and when they met they swerved to miss each other and tore their unloading augers off on both.

Didn't see it but the story is that it was noon and the first two combines pulled down into the draw_coulee for dinner. They parked abreast. The new kid came down the hill to join them only to have some kind of drive system failure which sent no 3 free wheeling. He took aim between no 1 and no 2. It didn't fit. Damage report 3 headers and 2 unloading augers. Oh well all that green paint traded around isn't any big deal.

back in the 1980's i started to work for an ac dealer, the boss sent me to a saleman school in nebraska's largest city. one day it was show and tell day..bringing something to class that we sell and tell everyone it's good points to make a sale. i talked the boss into letting me truck a combine into the city, i unloaded an n5 in a large parking lot nearby and drove it to the school about a mile up the street, there was a little car behind me that kept honkin it's horn, well this n5 was a demo machine, so i swithed the thresher on and peppered his car with trash from inside the machine, i didn't relize the car was a convertable...but he sure didn't honk at me no more, oh, by the way, i got a "a" in class that night!

I have a story, It was a few years ago when we were cutting wheat with a 1688 and a 9610. i was 10 years old at the time. I was driving the 1688 and my friend wayne was driving the 9610. I was out in the far end of the field next to the road. I am listening to the radio and a girl calls in, says she loves me, she says my full name on the air,and playes the song SHE THINKS MY TRACTOR'S SEXY. I WAS FREAKED OUT BECAUSE SHE WAS STAlKING ME! anyway wayne hears it to and calles me up on the cb and says(O JAKE'S got a lover!!!!hahaha). not knowing that i was about to hit the road BOOM!! I combined the road and was scared to death. broke 5 knives on the 1020 head and had to get out, replace the knives, and get done at three in the mourning. MAN!! GIRlS ARE NOTING BUT TROUBlE!!
